The Lateish Show With Mo Gilligan

10pm, Channel 4

Top Boy star Ashley Walters, Loose Women panellist Judi Love and Grammy-winning dancehall and reggae rapper Sean Paul join Mo Gilligan to open the third series of his anything-goes, double Bafta-winning chatshow. Gilligan’s trademark sketches are back, as are house band the Compozers, the Reply Or Deny game and, of course, Nursery Grimes. Hollie Richardson

Here We Go

8.30pm, BBC One

Grandma Sue introduces the family to her new Italian boyfriend, Alf, who manages to shock them into silence with his entrance. Meanwhile, Robin asks Paul to go undercover to investigate an estate agent who he thinks might be Cherry’s new boyfriend – and record it on camera. HR

9pm, BBC Two

The slow burn drama that combines a shameful episode in US history with Japanese folk horror continues with another double bill. In summer 1943, patchwork spirit Yuko is not the only nightmare stalking the internment camp: a contagion is spreading fast, and rattled Major Bowen (C Thomas Howell) refuses to act. Graeme Virtue

It’ll Be Alright on the Night

9pm, ITV

David Walliams digs deep into the archives to find perilous blunders, including a knife injury on Antiques Roadshow and a car explosion on Top Gear. Elton John also finds himself in a TV disaster. HR

The Other One

9.30pm, BBC One

“No way am I fisting a sheep.” Lauren Socha’s Cat isn’t keen on the idea of visiting a farm. But, as this funny, occasionally poignant class-clash comedy continues, Cathy (Ellie White) needs to decompress in her happy place. Cue unwelcome guests and a crushing blow for Tess (Rebecca Front) that might set up series three. Phil Harrison

Love Life

10.40pm, BBC One

More from the intelligent comedy-drama that proves dating isn’t easy, even for a seemingly perfect guy such as Marcus (William Jackson Harper). A bonus in this week’s double bill is the relatable subplot of his current love interest, Mia (Jessica Williams), dealing with the complex emotions an adult child has when their separated parents fall back in love.

Emergency (Carey Williams, 2022), Amazon Prime Video
Two African American college friends – bookish Kunle (Donald Elise Watkins) and laid-back Sean (an impressive RJ Cyler) – have an epic spring break party planned, until they stumble on an unconscious white girl on their lounge floor. The film then flips between slapstick campus comedy and deadly serious racial drama as the duo (plus their nerdy Latino roommate) try to help her, while avoiding a run-in with potentially trigger-happy cops. Carey Williams’s feature makes its points succinctly and powerfully, but always with a sense of fun. Simon Wardell
